Diego Maradona

My life is a movie. I've lived a thousand lives.

I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. But I've always been honest.

I've always been a fighter. I've always fought for what I believe in.

Football gave me everything. And I gave everything to football.

They cut off my legs. I could have played more.

I don't believe in the FIFA mafia.

I am a normal guy. I am not an alien.

I've lived a life that was worth 1,000 years.

The ball wasn’t stained, but they stole the World Cup from us.

I’m not a drug addict. I’m a football addict.

If I hadn’t taken drugs, I’d have been playing until I was 50.

I’d rather steal than lose.

I’m not a saint, but I’m not a criminal either.

The truth is I don’t remember much about the ’86 World Cup. I was high most of the time.

I’d like to be remembered as a good guy who played football well.

I’m not afraid of anyone. Not even God.

I don’t regret anything. I’d do it all again, exactly the same.

My mother thinks I am the best. And I believe my mother.

I was waiting for my teammates to embrace me, and no one came. I told them, 'Come hug me, or the referee isn't going to allow it.'

I played against a great Brazil side in 1982. They had Zico, Falcao, Socrates... but Brazil didn't have Maradona.
